Debugging obfuscated code

Not only will attackers have a hard time but also you will as the in-game Lua errors will give obfuscated outputs. This means that (local) variable names and line numbers are no longer trustworthy.

How to troubleshoot my users?#

The solution is to fire up VSCode, download the lua-obfuscator plugin and obfuscate your own code with the correct settings used by us.

This way, you transform the original input code into the exact same obfuscated code.

Make sure your local version matches the same as the public one.

Be aware that updates might happen to the obfuscator which can give different results. You might have to publish again for your live code to be obfuscated with the latest version.
